[R] R maps Help

[Ray Brownrigg]

I don't understand what you mean by "too small", and you haven't 
provided a reproducible example.

The map will be as large as the default graphics window on your screen 
will allow (leaving room for axes and labels as well).

If you are not happy with this, try something like:

x11(width=30, height=18)
map_world()

Otherwise, you will need to describe exactly what you mean by "really 
too small to show the data effectively" and provide a reproducible example.
